The American civil war was not fought to free the slaves

It was fought to enslave everybody.

Before the civil war state rights where strong after the war the federal government was calling the shots. The corporate federal government, banksters and the military/industrial complex won, the people lost. The war started with a manufacture provocation a practice the federal government still uses regularly. The federal over reach seen today can be traced back to the civil war, one straw at a time somebody has been playing the American people.

Government-supported and free public schools for all began to be established after the American Revolution.

States passed laws to make schooling compulsory between 1852 (Massachusetts) and 1917 (Mississippi). they also used federal funding designated by the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Acts of 1862 and 1890 to set up land grant colleges specializing in agriculture and engineering. By 1870, every state had free elementary schools,[9] albeit only in urban centers.

Responding to many competing academic philosophies being promoted at the time, an influential working group of educators, known as the Committee of Ten was established in 1892, by the National Education Association recommended that children should receive twelve years of instruction, consisting of eight years of elementary education (also known as "grammar schools") followed by four years in high school ("freshmen", "sophomores", "juniors" and "seniors").

Gradually by the late 1890s, regional associations of high schools, colleges and universities were being organized to coordinate proper accrediting standards, examinations and regular surveys of various institutions to assure equal treatment in graduation and admissions requirements, course completion and transfer procedures.

The dumbing down process has been going on for a long time, resulting in today's federally imposed common core program.

The civil war was fought from 1861 to 1865.
